EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the sinking of the German cruiser Magdeburg, the first major naval loss for the German fleet during World War I. The image, titled "Le croiseur allemand 'Magdebourg', premiere victime de la flotte russe, 1914," was published in the French magazine L'Illustration in 1916. The exact creator of the photograph remains unknown, adding to its historical intrigue. The Magdeburg, a powerful cruiser of the German Imperial Navy, was engaged in a naval battle with the Russian Baltic Fleet off the coast of the Gulf of Riga on August 21, 1914. Despite putting up a valiant fight, the Magdeburg was ultimately outmaneuvered and outgunned, resulting in its sinking. The photograph shows the damaged and listing ship, surrounded by smaller vessels, as it slowly sinks into the water. The image is a poignant reminder of the destructive power of war and the human cost of military conflict. The photograph is part of the Collection de la Guerre IV in L'Illustration Tome CXLVII, which chronicled the major events of the war from January to June 1916. The print, like many others from this period, serves as an important historical record of the First World War and the role of naval warfare in shaping its outcome.
